HHawk 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Okay bought the official ENGLISH version of ArmA 2 (and received it today). Installed it, started up the game. Everything works and in English. I downloaded the latest patch 1.02, installed it and run the game again, but to my (unpleasant) surprise ArmA 2 is now in German?! What's this about? And how do I fix this?

moosenoodles 0 Posted June 24, 2009 there is no "german" patch for 1.02 its universal. The point is he shouldnt need a mod for language if hes bought the english version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mosh 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Do you have an option to change it to English? There's an option somewhere to change language (mine won't change from German, as I have the German version, but maybe yours can?). I only say this because you didn't specify you tried looking for it or not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HHawk 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Well after searching the menu's (my German is not the best), I have found the option, but I am unable to change it to English. Also changing the .cfg from German to English doesn't change anything. Sigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy 11 Posted June 25, 2009 Okay bought the official ENGLISH version of ArmA 2 (and received it today).Installed it, started up the game. Everything works and in English. I downloaded the latest patch 1.02, installed it and run the game again, but to my (unpleasant) surprise ArmA 2 is now in German?! What's this about? And how do I fix this? Have you tried reinstalling the patch? Make sure you download the one from the official website and not a 3rd party site, as you may have downloaded a pirated version of the patch. Which may explain why it changed to german. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HHawk 0 Posted June 25, 2009 I have downloaded it from the official website. Anyways using the English mod, but I am not happy about it. And also the game is to dark. Even after trying several things (changing HDRprecision, Kegetys mod, etc. etc.) Game stays to dark. Sigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thr0tt 12 Posted June 25, 2009 Weird, I have the German version (Metaboli) and also got the English version from Game, when I got the English verion I just uninstalled the German one, installed the English applied the new patch and it is still in English, it also still doesn't ask for the DVD to be in the drive is that right ? HHawk, you didn't by chance install the 1.01 final patch too did you as that was only for the German copy ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HHawk 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Nope went from retail to 1.02 straight away. Anyways I am able to play in English (thanks to the English mod), but the worse problem (currently) is that the game itself is to dark. No matter what I do or change in the cfg files.

wolfbite 8 Posted June 25, 2009 My English one is still in English. Strange why it would do it to yours? I forget maybe you selected language as German whilst installing the patch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HHawk 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Nope, didn't select anything to change language. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 29 Posted June 25, 2009 Replied, your CD Key is German, where did you buy the "official English version of ArmA2"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewfDraggie 10 Posted September 6, 2009 Actually I have this very same problem, I think I have a german CD key as well because somebody purchased the game for me...if this is the case what are my options? Sorry about digging up the thread, but it's better than making a new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted September 6, 2009 After1.02 the game detects your cd key and bases the language on where the key came from. Have a look in the mod section of the forums (or google) and search for english mod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyran125 10 Posted September 6, 2009 ive never seen that before. Shouldnt there be an option to install English version or german version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joethe33 10 Posted September 6, 2009 ive never seen that before. Shouldnt there be an option to install English version or german version? I agree. I don't really see any sort of advantage to not having an option that actually allows you to switch between languages. We paid for the full game, shouldn't we be on the same level as everyone else?

Bulldogs 10 Posted September 6, 2009 Possibly. Maybebis will change it later but the belief is that if you bought the German cdkey then you planned to play the game in German. If you bought the English version and it's in German then that's the fault of whoever sold you the game. There's always other factors, like people wanting to buy the game early had to get the German version, but the general idea is that if you bought the German version then you wanted the German version and paid for the German version, not the English version. Fortunately, those who want to switch, maybe to learn another language, those people can use mods for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
